Chapter 417


(417) Preparations complete


Translator: Tseirp


Miri left the mansion as she mentioned that she would ‘take a short stroll and defeat the monsters in the entertainment district along the way’ .


Miri would be fine even if she runs into monsters but I thought I should follow her and get rid of the monsters together .


At that time .


“Malina-san, please wait!”


I heard Carol’s voice .


When I went to the entrance of the mansion, Malina – – no, she was wearing a mask so she’s Marina now – – was being stopped by Carol .


“What’s happening?”


“Ichino-sama, it seemed that Malina heard about it from Oregeru-sama . ”


“Don’t stop me, Kusunoki! My sworn friend Kanon was taken away by the Hero! Obeying the vow of Eternal Day, I must go save her! Even if it is to the depths of hell, I must proceed . If my legs are crushed, I will crawl with my arms, if even my arms are useless, I will crawl like a caterpillar . ”


“I can use Recovery Magic if your leg or arm breaks so calm down for now . We still have not verified that it is Kanon that was seen together with the Hero . ”


“Don’t say anymore, Kusunoki . According to the all-seeing Third Eye sealed on my forehead, Kanon is undoubtedly far below this burning Imperial Capital . ”


“This is not an Imperial Capital and it is not on fire either . ”


Marina’s chuunibyou was at full throttle .


Immediately before we parted ways, I thought she had become better .


“Anyway, calm down, Marina . Kanon is an important person to the Hero so she is not in danger . We will be going to the dungeon too so wait for a while . We must first gather information . ”


“ … Umu, okay . Right, Ichino . You have the Magic Journalist skills, right? I want a certain talisman . ”


Marina told me the name of the talisman .


It was a dangerous item but I got her promise to be safe so I passed it to her .


After receiving it, Marina took off her mask .


“I am sorry, Kusunoki-san . I will go rest for a little while . ”


Malina said and turned to return to the mansion but the smile she had on disappeared and only a look of anxiety appeared on her face .


After sending Malina back, Carol left toward town to gather information .


It would be dangerous alone so I thought of sending Jofre and Elize to guard her but that would make me even more worried .


While I was troubled between chasing after Miri or going with Carol,


“Baronet Ichinojo, there is a letter for you . ”


Sebastan came over with a letter in an envelope and a letter opener on a square tray .


A noble’s butler was so polite even when delivering just one letter .


While thinking that it was my first time using a letter opener, I cut the end of the envelope and took out the contents .


『Tonight, I will be waiting at the dungeon . If you don’t come, Tet-sama will become a Demon God so make sure to come . Alessio Magnar . 』


That was written in the letter .


An invitation from the Hero huh?


I couldn’t tell if what was written was true . Tet-sama’s time limit might be further ahead .


However, I would probably accept this invitation .


I called Haru and told her the contents of the letter .


I asked her to look for Carol and Miri in town and tell them the contents of the letter .


In the meantime, I had something else to do .


I looked at the sword in my hand – – or rather, what used to be a sword .


Now it was a damaged husk of its original form, almost unrecognizable .


“Master, is that White Wolf Fang?”


Haru asked .


“Yes . It broke when I fought against Talwi . ”


If I had the skill to prevent the deterioration of the sword, it would return to its original state if the blade was chipped a little but a broken sword would never return to its original state .


But I felt it faintly .


“I have a skill to listen to the pulsation of the sword . I got it when I mastered Apprentice Swordsman and Swordsman and when I use that skill, I can instantly understand the idiosyncrasies of the sword … but when I am using this White Wolf Fang, I somewhat still can feel a pulsation telling me that it can still fight . ”


“That is expected of a blade named after the White Wolf . For the White Wolf Race, even if our sword breaks, our limbs are torn off, we will bite the enemy’s throat with our fangs . ”


Haru said such dangerous-sounding words just like Marina .


Please don’t try to do that when you are already in a critical state – – or rather, please run away before it reaches that stage .


“I was thinking of making a new sword using the fragments of this sword . ”


“A new sword?”


“Yes . Thankfully it had not rusted or oxidized like iron . ”


“In that case, master . Please use this . ”


Haru said and offered me a needle .


That was – –


“Orichalcum needle?”


“Yes . I received it when I cleared the Mallegory dungeon . Master should be able to use this now?”


My alchemy and smithing professions have certainly leveled up quite far and I have countless recipes in my head .


Within the alchemy recipes, there was one to create an alloy of Orichalcum and Mithril .


And I have a blacksmithing recipe using that alloy .


“Are you sure?”


“Yes, this is my wish . Please give White Wolf Fang another opportunity to fight . ”


“ … Understood . ”


I thanked her and decided to use that Orichalcum needle .


I returned to the smithy in My World and used alchemy to transform Mithril and Orichalcum into a single metal alloy .


And then, just like when I made White Wolf Fang, I used my skill to create a single sword .


I felt a strong core form within the transparent white blade .


The inscription was, of course, White Wolf Fang .


“Master, are you done?”


Neete asked me after knocking on the smithy door that I had left open .


“Yeah, I’m done . ”


I sheathed the White Wolf Fang .


“I see . I wanted to pass this to you . ”


Neete passed me a small ring . It was so small that it couldn’t even fit my pinky .


“This jewel … this is a ring using the Dragon’s Eye?”


“Yes, it was quite a struggle you know? It has the power to increase resistance to five attributes, Darkness, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and can also protect you from miasma . It is not a magical tool made with a skill so don’t expect too much from it . I made it smaller in size for Master Carol whom I worry for her defense . ”


Neete told me to not expect too much but she was proudly explaining it to me .


I wanted to give Haru if it increased speed and Malina if it increased magical power but when it comes to defense-oriented accessories, it was certainly best to leave it with Carol .


“Thank you . ”


“I gave up my off days to complete it . I want a week off once everything is over . ”


I don’t recall setting holidays for Neete and the others . Since they would take a break whenever they wanted .


But I answered with a smile .


“Yeah, let’s enjoy a vacation somewhere . We could even go on a hot spring trip . ”


“I’ll look forward to that . ”


Neete answered with a mischievous smile .


After completing our preparations, we made a final confirmation before departing .


“Carol, this is an accessory with the Dragon’s Eye . Neete made it for you so put it on . But anywhere other than the ring finger on the left hand . I have reserved that after all . ”


I explained the abilities of the ring and passed it to Carol .


“Thank you very much, Ichino-sama . ”


As I suppressed my embarrassment, Carol received it with a smile and put it on the ring finger of her right hand .


“Is Marina ready too?”


“Yup, no problem . You don’t need to ask Haurvatat?”


“As long as Haru is not drunk, she will always be prepared . ”


“Yes . I am always prepared for battle . ”


Haru was all ready too .


Nobody saw us off . That was natural since I didn’t tell anyone .


And perhaps only a few knew that the world was at stake . That was fine too .
